Absorbing knowledge
East Wawanosh Public School made math fun for a day in
hopes that the students might absorb a bit more of the
lesson. An outdoor math day was held on June 28 featuring
several stations where the students could learn math in an
interactive and fun setting through outdoor activities.

the field to the other. The lesson was the measurement of
water in litres, which was Jessica Procter’s job. (Shawn

food for everyone. These farmers
feel that the world’s original seeds
and livestock strains are being lost as
scientists modify and recreate them.
Pure, original strains/seeds are their
aim.
Of particular interest to Dave and
Darlene, owner operators of
McCully Hill Farm near St. Marys,
was the symposium’s desire to
convince buyers to purchase locally-
produced food.
As producers of seasonal produce
they support the recent ads seen on
television about buying foods from
Ontario and supermarkets
purchasing from local farms.
Organizers of the symposium feel a
country such as Canada, should only
offer food stuffs produced in
Canada, i.e., no imports. Handled
properly, they feel each country
could produce enough of that
country’s ethnic foods for its
citizens.
The couple showed slides of both
the symposium and their week spent
in France where they visited with a
niece of Darlene’s who is on a study
exchange there.

Vandalism
Sometime between the evening of June 23 and the morning
of June 24 East Wawanosh Public School was adorned
with some unwelcome paintings. Police are looking into the
situation, but currently have no leads. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Sometime between the evening of
June 23 and the morning of June 24,
East Wawanosh Public School was
subjected to an unscheduled paint
job that will end up costing the
school around $250.
“This happened sometime
between Saturday night and Sunday
morning. I was here on Saturday
and everything was fine and one of
the teachers came in on Sunday
around 11 a.m. and noticed our
damage,” principal Frank Stretton
said.
“Police were contacted. We don’t
have any leads right now on who
might have done it.”
With the school year just coming
to a close, Stretton says it has been
tough getting the graffiti taken care
of. He estimates that sometime over
the summer it will be removed.
“Right now we have a lot of
people on holidays, so I’m waiting
for people to come back.”
